Sir Loin of Beef, Eastney, Southsea

As Dan says, this pub stands out from the crowd, quite "quirky" interior, see photos, murals in loo are worth having a leak for Landlady was polite, friendly & obliging for interior photos Lunch time visit, 8 hand pulls [2 not available], see photo for brews Loads of naval memorabilia, white ensigns etc, all as one would expect in Pompey All very clean & tidy, in fact given Naval flavour of pub one could say "ship shape & Bristol fashion" Not sure if food served, I saw no indication of it, but never asked On street parking should not be a problem, buses stop nearly outside Well worth trying it out, even making a detour for if in Albert Road or Eastney area Summation, bit quirky decor but well worth a visit

Now that Mike is landlord the pub has improved 100 fold. Good atmosphere and a wide selection of beers and ciders. Those that know Mike will remember he used to have the Wharf in Canal Street.

Now sporting a new paint scheme that I would describe as a kind of mandarine orange, the Sir Loin of Beef certainly stands out as you approach it. There is a long bar facing the front (Highland Road) and a smaller one around the back and to the side. A wide range of real ales on offer that are kept well. The usual lagers, etc may also be obtained. If you are interested in RN submarines it's worth having a look in the back bar where there is quite a lot of memorabilia on the walls. You can also have a look at the ceiling display of sunshades and then the artwork that decorates the toilet doors. A good pub that is worth visiting whilst in the eastern parts of Southsea.
